Yeast Fungus

Candida albicans is a type of yeast that can affect various parts of the body, most commonly causing vaginal yeast infections and gut overgrowth. Vaginal infections result in itching, discomfort, and discharge, often due to an imbalance in the natural flora. In the gut, overgrowth of Candida albicans can disrupt digestion, causing bloating and changes in bowel habits. Factors such as diet, overall health, and antibiotic use influence both conditions, and personalised treatments are required to restore balance and alleviate symptoms.
